Howard was an actor, stage manager, director, and playwright before teaming up with Russel Crouse. Lindsay and Crouse's partnership stands as the longest collaboration of any writers in theatrical history, lasting for more than 28 years. The two men first joined forces in 1934, when the producer Vinton Freedley brought them together to rewrite the libretto for Anything Goes, which Lindsay directed. Two years later, they wrote another Cole Porter show, Red, Hot and Blue. Their first straight play, Life with Father, opened in 1936 and holds the record for the longest-running play on Broadway at 3,224 performances. Lindsay and his wife, Dorothy Stickney, created the roles of Clarence and Vinnie Day, performing them for five years. Among other shows, Lindsay and Crouse also wrote The Sound of Music (score by Rodgers and Hammerstein), the Pulitzer Prize-winning State of the Union, Call Me Madam, and Mr. President (scores by Irving Berlin), The Prescott Proposals, and The Great Sebastians. They produced The Hasty Heart, Detective Story, and Arsenic and Old Lace.

Richard’s contribution to the musical theatre of his day was extraordinary, and his influence on today and tomorrow is legendary. With a career spanning more than six decades, his hits ranged from Hollywood and Broadway to London and beyond. Richard received countless awards, including Pulitzers, Tonys, Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys. He wrote more than 900 published songs and 40 Broadway musicals.

Richard and Lorenz Hart wrote their first shows together when both were still students attending Columbia University. Their breakthrough came with the score for the 1925 charity show, The Garrick Gaieties, which introduced the classic valentine to their hometown, "Manhattan."

Over the next five years, they wrote 15 musical comedies for Broadway and London's West End before relocating to Hollywood in 1930, where they contributed songs and wrote the scores for several movie musicals, most notably Love Me Tonight, starring Maurice Chevalier.

In 1935, they returned to New York to write the score for Billy Rose's circus musical Jumbo, launching a golden era that included On Your Toes, Babes In Arms, I'd Rather Be Right, I Married An Angel, The Boys From Syracuse, Too Many Girls, Higher And Higher, Pal Joey, and By Jupiter. In 1943, the partnership disbanded temporarily when Rodgers collaborated with Oscar Hammerstein II on Oklahoma!, but resumed with a revision of their 1927 hit A Connecticut Yankee, which opened less than a week before Hart's death.

For the next two decades, Richard collaborated exclusively with Oscar Hammerstein II on such musicals as Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King And I, Pipe Dream, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, their musicals have garnered dozens of awards, including Pulitzer Prizes, Tonys, Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and Drama Desk, Drama Critics’ Circle, Outer Critics’ Circle, Laurence Olivier, and Evening Standard Awards.

The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway was renamed in his honor, and Rodgers and Hart were each commemorated on a US postage stamp.

Oscar was born on July 12, 1895 in New York City. His father, William, was a theater manager and for many years director of Hammerstein's Victoria, the most popular Vaudeville theater of its day. His uncle, Arthur Hammerstein, was a successful Broadway producer, and his grandfather, Oscar Hammerstein, was a famous opera impresario.

Hammerstein started writing lyrics for the Columbia University Varsity shows while studying law. His earliest works included musical comedies written with a Columbia undergraduate seven years his junior named Richard Rodgers. Withdrawing from Columbia Law School after his second year to pursue a career in theatre, Hammerstein took a job with his uncle as an assistant stage manager.

In 1919, Hammerstein's first play, The Light, was produced by his Uncle Arthur; it lasted four performances. Undaunted, he continued to write both lyrics and librettos, principally with Otto Harbach as his collaborating author. His first success, with Harbach, Vincent Youmans, and Herbert Stothart, was Wildflower in 1923. Hammerstein found his niche with some of the greatest composers of his day, breathing new life into the moribund art form of operetta with such classics as Rose-Marie (music by Rudolf Friml), The Desert Song (Sigmund Romberg), The New Moon (Romberg), and Song of the Flame (George Gershwin). With Jerome Kern, Hammerstein wrote eight musicals, including Sweet Adeline, Music in the Air, and their masterwork, Show Boat.

During the years Hammerstein was redefining the terms of operetta, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart were challenging the accepted norms of musical comedy with shows that set new standards for wit, sophistication, and innovation. The Rodgers & Hammerstein partnership began with Oklahoma! (1943). Like Hammerstein's Show Boat and Rodgers & Hart's Pal Joey, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical was a groundbreaking milestone, blending musical comedy and operetta into a whole new genre – the musical play. Oklahoma! was also the start of the most successful partnership in Broadway history and was followed by Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King & I, Me And Juliet, Pipe Dream, Flower Drum Song, and The Sound of Music. Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote one musical specifically for the big screen – State Fair – and one for television – Cinderella. Collectively, their musicals have garnered dozens of awards: Pulitzer Prizes; Tonys, Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys; Drama Desk, Drama Critics’ Circle, Outer Critics’ Circle, Laurence Olivier, Evening Standard Awards. He received many personal honors and awards including five honorary degrees, two Pulitzer Prizes, two Academy Awards, and five Tony Awards.

The ultimate tribute came when Oscar Hammerstein II had three musicals playing on Broadway simultaneously: Show Boat (1995 Tony Award winner, Best Musical Revival); The King & I (1996 Tony Award winner, Best Musical Revival); and State Fair (1996 Tony Award nominee for Best Score).
